''''''in recent years, we failed to put adequate resources behind the franchise and, as a result, quality suffered,'''''' ea games label president frank gibeau said of the need for speed franchise, currently in the midst of a reboot with the well received need for speed: shift, the recently released need for speed: nitro, and the we're-not-sure-that's-going-to-work need for speed: world online. but there's a fourth post-reboot need for speed title in development at criterion games, the devs behind the excellent burnout series.

removing any doubt that the series will miss an opportunity for annual exploitation (again, the massively multilpayer online racing of world online doesn't count!) gibeau said ''''''next year's need for speed has been under development now for some time at our award-winning criterion studio.'''''' we're not sure what type of need for speed criterion is creating, but we wouldn't be surprised if it was heavy on the crashing.criterion-developed need for speed coming 'next year' originally appeared on joystiq on mon, 09 nov 2009 20:10:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
